Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this Apple touch icon tool free?
We believe in supporting the web community. This tool runs locally with no infrastructure costs, so we offer it free. No catch, no tracking, just helpful software.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
Never. Everything happens in your browser. Your image never touches any server. This is genuinely private processing.
What size does Apple need?
Apple recommends 180x180 pixels for the apple-touch-icon. This covers all modern iPhones and iPads. We also generate additional sizes for older devices if needed.
Do I need different icons for iPhone and iPad?
The 180x180 size works for both. iOS scales appropriately. However, our generator includes multiple sizes if you want to specify different icons for different devices.
Should the icon have transparency?
Apple touch icons should NOT have transparency. iOS doesn't support transparent touch icons and will display a black background. Our tool can add a solid background if needed.
How do users add my site to their home screen?
On iPhone/iPad, users tap the Share button in Safari, then 'Add to Home Screen'. Your apple-touch-icon will appear as the app icon.
Does this work for Android too?
This tool focuses on Apple touch icons, but the complete favicon pack also includes android-chrome icons for Android home screen support.
